Diesel questions

I just placed an offer in to buy a 2011 335d for European Delivery. I own a 335i and was wondering if the 335 diesel has the same:

1. Lack of a dipstick
2. Oil filter located up on top of the engine
3. 7.0 quart oil capacity.

Thanks in advance.

1. Diesel has a dipstick.
2. It is not (at least I don't recall it being so).
3. This is in the manual...checking on this one. (I lied, it's not there). If memory serves, it *is* 7 liters.

Must be something new as my 2009 is on top.

Oil filter is on top. Capacity 7.5 L.

With the dip stick and the oil filter on top of the engine, I am back into the world of doing oil & filter changes myself. I used to use a suction pump to suck the oil out of the engine but with the elemination of the dip stick, I have been forced to have the oil changed by the dealer. I like to do it myself.

Thanks again.
